In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia础尘腻惫腻蝉墨 (啶呧ぎ啶距さ啶距じ啷�).鈥擨n Amarako艣a we read about 础尘腻惫腻蝉墨: "Am膩惫腻蝉测腻 tv补尘腻惫补蝉测腻 dar艣a岣� s奴ryendusa峁僩ama岣�". 础尘腻惫腻蝉墨 means New Moon. "Am膩" means "Saha". So 础尘腻惫腻蝉墨 is the Union of Sun and Moon in the same r膩艣i.
Once Bh峁沢u Maha峁泂i cursed Agni. At that time Agni explained the importance of 础尘腻惫腻蝉墨. The oblations which are offered as homa into the fire become the food of the Devas and Pit峁泂. Substances offered as homa on Pur峁嚥钩灸錽墨 become food of the Devas and those offered on 础尘腻惫腻蝉墨 become food of the Pit峁泂. (Mah膩bh膩rata, 膧di Parva, Chapter 7).
The Purana (啶啶班ぞ啶�, pur膩峁嘺s) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India鈥檚 vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra础尘腻惫补蝉墨 (啶呧ぎ啶距さ啶膏) is also known as Dar艣a谤腻迟谤颈 (the 鈥渘ight before the new moon鈥�), according to chapter 1.1 [腻诲墨艣惫补谤补-肠补谤颈迟谤补] of Hemacandra鈥檚 11th century Tri峁峁ａ弓i艣al膩k膩puru峁caritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.鈥擠ar艣a谤腻迟谤颈 (i.e., 补尘腻惫补蝉墨) [is translated] this way rather than the 鈥渘ight of the new moon鈥� of the Lexs., because it is the night before the new moon is visible, and in the Hindu calendar is the last night of the dark fortnight, not the first of the bright fortnight.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
